  • Tiny house maverick, Abel Zimmerman Zyl, takes a fresh and detailed look at the Ark Tiny House. This house, built in 2015, is known the world over for its wild, artistic form.
    Designed and built at the Zyl Tiny Homes workshop in Olympia, WA, USA - The Ark is unforgettable in form. It features dramatic arched windows, a circular entryway, and distinctly functional interior.
    Zyl Tiny Homes is one of the most experienced tiny house builders around - creating cutting-edge structures since 2007. The founder, Abel Zyl, has been building tiny houses and other structures for over 25 years.

    Found you by accident and am so glad I did...what a beautiful talent you have and thank you for sharing your inspirational ideas and dreamlike homes with us all...I am presently finishing off my school bus to travel for two years with my beautiful grand daughters that I am blessed to raise...and then I am hoping to settle in my own tiny home...you are absolutely the builder that I would see first. Your homes are like little rays of sunshine brightening up the planet...thank you!

    Your designs are awe inspiring and so beautifully crafted. I have watched countless Tiny House CZcams videos and channels etc. but your homes are unique and aesthetically as well as spacially stunning! It is truly a shame for those of us living outside of the U.S.A who would appreciate and utilize your expertise and flair. Thank you so very much for sharing your art with us and please continue to post and share your video tours. I wish you continued inspiration and success in the future.
    All the Best.

    This is one of my favorite designs to date. It's very disarming, in the most positive sense. I'm 6'3" and this looks like it could accommodate someone of a larger stature. Your designs remind me of a hobbit house, with warmth and whimsy.

    Hello Zyl, I am crazy ,about the Damselfly house. In my opinion, it's an amazing house yes, but it's also a dreamy, peaceful and spirit lifting, work of art. I guess I sound corny, but I mean every word. You are brilliant, and I love your videos. You stated ,in your video, that it would work for someone who is disabled. Would a bath chair work in the shower? I had never heard of "Damselflies"
    .Well, I had, but we called them by another name. "Dragonflies /Snake Doctors "
    Different regions of the country, I guess. I think Damselfly, is so much more beautiful, and whimsical.
    sounding, as well as more fitting, because they are beautiful.
    Also, is it possible to have a washer, dryer and dishwasher. Was that a four burner gas stove? Thanks and take care

    • @ZylTinyHomes
      @ZylTinyHomes  Před 7 lety +1

      This design could be easily modified to work with ADA requirements. I would have to widen the bath door, add grab bars, remove the sink cabinet, and use a zero-threshold shower (transfer type). The kitchen would have to be modified somewhat too... but all this is pretty easy, and wouldn't add to the cost. The appliances could be added in, but again, we'd have to modify the kitchen setup. We have both dragonflies and damselflies. Damselflies are the smaller, slenderer ones.

  • @johnhoma1094
    @johnhoma1094 Před 5 lety

    Mr. Vardos, I really enjoy your tours of the Tiny Houses. There would only need to be one change for me which would be in two parts. A standard flush toilet and, I would want to be connected to all of the underground services. I also would love to have you build me a Tiny House as the space inside would be enough for me. You are phenomenal and God Bless.

    • @ZylTinyHomes
      @ZylTinyHomes  Před 5 lety +1

      Most of the tiny houses I build have flush toilets. There is a lot of flexibility in how the interior is fitted out.

    This house is great, but I especially love the "Pinafore" house that I saw in another video on CZcams. That house only had one bedroom loft, but there was a living room area with a sofa that could also allow for a sofabed. Also, there was a beautiful shower and a full apartment size stove with an oven in that house. The outside was also quite beautiful, with leaded glass and stained glass windows and a copper roof that was outstanding. Your work is amazing, but I can only assume that these custom built homes are quite expensive for such small houses. I have not seen any videos that give any idea of a range of prices. Is that something that you would disclose or give an idea of?

    • @ZylTinyHomes
      @ZylTinyHomes  Před 4 lety

      Yes, of course. My builds range widely in price, depending on what goes into the project... Current prices are always posted on my website: www.zylvardos.com
